September 26, 2024 — Every year on September 25, the United States celebrates National Lobster Day. In 2015, Maine Senators Angus King and Susan Collins established it to recognize the importance of this crustacean to the country’s history and culture.
So to further celebrate the lobstermen and women on National Fisherman, we decided to share a few of our favorite articles all about lobster. Show some support to your local fishermen this week and buy some seafood!
In January 2024, the University of New England launched an ambitious research endeavor, decoding the genetic underpinnings of colored lobsters. The hope to unveil the reason behind the crazy-colored crustaceans may be closer than we think.
